UNSPSC 27131521: Pneumatic riveter

A gun-shaped or straight tool used to drive rivets. Such pneumatic or oleo pneumatic (with oil) tools are able to invert the spin and set free the rivet to make the job easier. Can be used with riveted screws and nuts.

UNSPSC 27131521 Pneumatic riveter is a Commodity code that captures hand-held and portable pneumatic fastening tools used in construction, fabrication, and maintenance work. State and local governments procure pneumatic riveters as part of broader infrastructure repair and construction projects, though the code sees limited standalone solicitation activity — most procurement occurs as incidental line items within larger construction contracts rather than as dedicated equipment purchases. When state and local buyers do solicit this equipment independently, they typically seek commercial-grade tools for road, bridge, or building projects where riveted connections are specified.

Recent solicitations under this code show sparse direct activity. The most notable recent procurement is Galveston County, Texas ITB 26-085 (posted January 27, 2026, due February 26, 2026), which sought one new pneumatic roller — a distinct equipment category that was miscoded under this commodity taxonomy. Broader infrastructure work posted under related codes includes Orange County, Florida's bridge replacement project (Y26-742, estimated cost $6.2 million, due July 7, 2026) and Santa Clara County's bridge replacement project (ITBRDAFY260559, due March 5, 2026), but these opportunities do not isolate riveting tools as line-item procurements. The code shows minimal geographic concentration and low transactional frequency at the state and local level; most activity appears concentrated in Florida and California counties with active bridge and infrastructure programs. This code warrants a watch rather than aggressive pursuit unless your firm has existing relationships with county public works departments or operates as a subcontractor on larger construction or demolition contracts where pneumatic fastening tools are specified line items.
